General Question

Have you ever heard of a hop hornbeam?

The city where I live has a very good forestry department, and many lots have one or two trees owned by the city. Several years ago, one of the city trees on my lot had to be removed due to disease, with plans to replace it. Due to the drought of recent years, there was a hiatus placed on new trees, which was lifted this year. I have just been informed that they will be replacing the old tree with a Hop Hornbeam. I have never heard of this type tree. Can anyone help me visualize it?

I have heard of the tree, but I am a tree nut. I keep the tree ID book next to my birding and wildflower books and use it often. One of my heroes around here can ID most deciduous trees in the winter from the shape and silhouette of the tree and the bark.
